Yeah I know, Vista might not be the best platform for games... but it came pre-installed on this notebook. I have enough horsepower to run newer games with low settings, or old games maxed out. So I'm installing all my older stuff like Warcraft 3, Age of Mythology, and lots of MAME. One of my favorite old games is Shogo from Monolith. Yes it's a bit primitive, but still a lot of fun.

I can get it to run, but it is shoing up as a small little square in the upper right side of the screen, with the rest of the screen being blank. I want to know how I can force it to maximize. I run XP at home, so this Vista stuff is new to me. It doesn't help that the game was originally intended for Windos 98 (I think).

Any suggestions?

hmm, its performance might be acceptable in vmWare on winxp, considering the old age of Shogo.

But then you need an XP license, correct?
